Sunday, June 14, 2026, starts off cool and cloudy in Minneapolis, with Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) reporting about 57°F around 5:35 a.m. CDT. Clouds should thin through the morning, letting temperatures climb into the mid 70s, while northwest winds strengthen through the afternoon. The day looks dry, but a wetter pattern is set to move in by Monday night and into midweek.

Afternoon Winds Pick Up

Northwest winds around 15 mph are expected this afternoon, with gusts that could make it feel blustery at times, so cyclists and picnickers will notice the breeze. Light outdoor furniture may need to be secured, and river crossings on exposed bridges could feel choppy. Most of the city should top out near 74°F.

Rain Returns Midweek

After a quiet Sunday, rain chances begin to climb Monday night, June 15. Forecasters show roughly a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 7 p.m., with showers likely to linger into Tuesday morning, June 16. The best shot at steadier, more widespread rain arrives Wednesday, June 17, when the probability jumps to around 80 percent. That system currently looks more like prolonged light to moderate rain than isolated severe cells, according to the National Weather Service. Expect damp conditions for midweek outdoor events and plan on bringing rain gear.
